Ergonomics Workshop
with Mary Woodbury

Have you ever heard ergonomics referred to as human factors? Ergonomics has become a slang word used in everyday discussions and workplaces to mean workstations, chairs, and computer equipment. More than the computer screens, mice and computer chairs, ergonomics, is the interaction of the human body with the devices we use (cooking utensils, gardening tools, hobby devices, etc.). According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary the definition of ergonomics is: an applied science concerned with designing and arranging things people use so that the people and things interact most efficiently and safely. Join Certified Hand and Occupational Therapist, Mary Woodbury of Hand Therapy Treatment and Education Center, LLP for an interactive discussion of basic principles of safe and effective body alignment during our daily living activities. Simulated stations will be available to try tools and receive feedback.

with Heather Shaughnessy-Cato

This 2-hour retreat offers a gentle, science-informed exploration of the power of these uplifting states. Through meditation, journaling, and mindfulness practices, you’ll reflect on your own experiences such as joy, gratitude, and awe—first slowly, and then with an eye toward integrating them into everyday life in small, meaningful ways. Activities include: Guided meditations, Reflective journaling, Mindful movement, Group discussion, and shared insights. Please bring: A yoga mat, a journal, and something small that represents a moment of beauty or connection (optional).
